Well first you’d have to check to see if it’s a super capacitor…

Prove to me we already don’t. Have you seen the news!

Skeptical of what? That it’s finite? Or how much is left? Or that climate change is real?

Because I’m definitely seeing people who think we have unlimited oil, that there’s always going to be more, and that climate change is not only a hoax but isn’t caused by humans at all. Some of those folks are in this thread, some of those folks I know in real life.

This thread is filled with people who don’t grasp what a finite resource is. Saying “I remember hearing that x years ago”. Sure there’s probably more it there somewhere, but we don’t need to have to the finish on this. There are are kids who are going to grow up, people who aren’t born yet. Hell, at current rates, we might fuck up things with climate change. Which, even more reason to use less.

Call me selfish, but I want my nieces and nephews, to be able to grow up into a prosperous world and not some weird dystopian hellscape.

174868880 seconds/60 = 2914481.33333333 minutes/60 = 48574.6888888889 hours/24 = 2023.94537037037 days/365 = 5.54505580923389 years

Using this as the basis

1y = 31,536,000 seconds

1m = 2,629,746 seconds

1w = 604,800 seconds

1d = 86,400 seconds

1h = 3,600 seconds

So 5 years, 6 months, 2 weeks, 2 days, 7 hours, 46 minutes, and 44 seconds.

A reminder, AAA, means nothing. It is a self-appointed term for marketing. Because it means nothing customers apply whatever they think it means. Just like AAAA is also pointless, and stupid.

God Dammit Loch Ness Monster, I ain’t gonna give you no tree fiddy.

I’ve experienced stuff like this.

I think the last time I tried being above and beyond type of host, had a bunch of people coming over for a big weekend. I thought I do something really special and make steaks. But this wasn’t just going to be like any grilled steak no no no. These steaks were going to be prepped the night before and then sous vide. But before I even started this plan I reached out to everyone and said what I was planning to do and ask if there were any issues with it, any requests, etc. I describe to everyone and great detail what I was going to make. Not one person said anything other than the “sounds good”.

If you’re unfamiliar with sous vide the short of it is it takes a long time to cook. Generally it’s measured in hours I’d say. As such I need to cook all of the steaks at the same temperature for the same amount of time I don’t have the setup at home to do individual orders.

One of the individuals once they got here, asked if I could make them a hamburger instead. Like I was a fucking restaurant.

And another one slathered it with ketchup without even trying it without. Claimed it was overcooked and dry. 🤨

Thankfully everyone else thoroughly enjoyed their perfect steaks.

Other times I would buy up a bunch of stuff so we could have breakfast. Like a proper breakfast, not just a handful of carbs in calling it good. But people would wake up late despite knowing when breakfast was going to be on. And then say they weren’t hungry. And not 30 minutes out the door, talking about picking up something or swinging by somewhere to quick grab a bite.

And? Microtransactions were already standard for Blizzard a long time ago before Microsoft showed up.

And they use arch btw

All operating systems suck ass. There are problems and issues with all of them. It’s the same argument for programming languages. Now it’s the same argument when it comes to what brand of vehicle Ford or Chevy.

Don’t get hyper focused on a brand, on a label. Simply use what’s best for you and your needs.

Ditto Pikachu is best Pikachu. And I will die on this hill.

It’s far too early to tell. It’s in early development yet. People getting invites and expecting a fully complete, polished game have unrealistic expectations.

Pwsh 7.x works very well in Linux. Haven’t got any snags.

Yep. Having to have requirements that doesn’t flow with people very well and requiring constant updates, people WILL find shortcuts. In the office, I’ve seen sheets of paper with the password written down, I’ve seen sticky notes, I’ve seen people put them in notepad/word so they could just copy paste.

This is made worse, because you have to go out of your way for a password manager, which means you need to know what that is. And you need a good one because there has been (and I’m going to generalize here) problems with some password managers in the past. And for work, they have to allow a password manager for that to even be an option. Which you then end up with this security theater.

You have to use a Windows desktop at home.

My car insurance has doubled in less than 8 years. But don’t worry, it has less coverage too! Oh, but I’ll get a teeny tiny discount if I let them install a lowjack!

I think that was more of a security feature. I would strongly believe that all of the eternal dragons can speak/understand all languages. Making it so only a Namekian can make the wish as layer of security given how powerful the dragon balls are. Like the Ancients in Stargate started putting DNA scanners into things to stop other species (like the wraith) from using their tech.

I personally agree. I think it’s being somewhat overhyped. If step one is physical access to get things rolling… like for sure some machines are in more public areas than others. But for me, someone would have to break into my house first, then access my machine, just to run exploits later. The exploit is pretty massive, but I think needs to be tempered with “first they need physical access”. Because physically controlling machines has always been number 1 for security.

Yep.

I came here to make a ‘my router uses BSD btw’ joke.
